About this movie

This inspiring documentary about courage, survival, and triumph over adversity tells the remarkable story of teenager Malala Yousafzai, who was attacked by Taliban gunmen in Pakistan for advocating girls’ education. Rather than be silenced, Malala emerged as a global voice for the education rights of children, and in December 2014, became the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

There are many reviews in here giving 5 stars from the women and 1 star from men and virtually no comments under the vast majority, meaning that they are aĺl drive-by personal/political crapola from people who have not seen the film. (I havent seen it either, but felt the nonsense ratings needed pointing out. Voted 3 to remain neutral)

Superficial story, faked by western writers, who entered a country by messing it up just like how they did to Iraq. Behind every story like this one there are 100 stories of killed family members and separated families. Instead go and talk about the molested kids in US by their step dads, and the neglected kids by their alcoholic parents, for every story like this one there are 10 stories of shattered families in US by alcohol, drugs and running away moms and dads because of their sex driven lust with another boyfriend or girlfriend. Just Hippocratic film industries following a profiled ideas. Alcohol, drugs, unfaithful parents are just normal things, just part of freedom. Sex for teenagers and sex for money is just a normal thing, not diseases of society.Girls selling their bodies for porn magazines, or showing their body in model magazines are just fun things not sex slavery in filthy societies. Yucky people.

I've seen critics call this a puff piece, or ask for more of her inner world, but she clearly did not want to discuss intimate things like her suffering in her interviews. I think it's balanced in that it shows just how progressive her family is, not just compared to extremists, but in contrast to their old community who still criticize them. Public speaking came from her grandfather and father, thus the importance of the title. Malala is smart, modest, but her most astounding trait is her lack of anger.
